In late October, the first snow is about to arrive.
On October 20, the Wen Bao reported two events in great detail: one was the course of the Sangu battles, and the other was the Changxi Village incident.
The already hotly debated issue was reignited.
At the beginning, everyone in the world was discussing whether Fang Yun was right or wrong, but later, everyone began to discuss the severity of Fang Yun's actions.
Every day, a large number of scholars came to the foot of Daofeng Mountain to petition for the villagers of Changxi Village, demanding that the Criminal Court thoroughly investigate the Changxi Village case and that Fang Yun's palace examination be interrupted.
The Holy Court has never accepted petitions.
The two sides have been in a stalemate.
And those who are truly ambitious, even if they oppose Fang Yun, no longer argue, but instead set their sights on the north of the human race.
To the north of Ning'an City, ten new fortresses were built by the Engineering Palace, forming an arc on the map of Jingguo to defend the land of the human race.
One million new troops have been trained, and the second batch of one million new troops has begun training. Reinforcements from various countries have also arrived and are ready for battle.
The one million new troops and 600,000 veterans were organized into 16 armies, each with 100,000 combat soldiers.
Among them, every 500,000 combat soldiers are combined into one guard army. Currently, three guard armies have been formed, led by three university scholars respectively.
The left prime minister's right-hand man, Grand Secretary Lan Xun Gulan, was originally stationed at Yuyang Pass and was bound to take over the First Guard Army. However, because he did not send troops to rescue when millions of aquatic monsters attacked Ning'an on the raging waves battlefield, he was investigated by the Criminal Hall and committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
From then on, the person with the highest position in the Zuo Xiang Army was the newly appointed General of the Yingyang Army, the old Hanlin Tong Luan.
Tong Luan did not become a Grand Secretary and could not serve as the Grand General of the Guard. The power of the Left Prime Minister and the Empress Dowager was increasing and decreasing, which made the power of the Left Prime Minister in the army extremely weakened.
Although Assistant Prime Minister Si Yueqing was a Grand Secretary, he had no military experience and was not well versed in military strategy, so he could not serve as the Grand General of the Guard.
When Jingguo thought that the left prime minister had completely lost his power, Hanlin Tong Luan unexpectedly broke through and was promoted to Grand Secretary, and was awarded the post of General of the Rear Guard, thus restoring the power of the left prime minister's party in the army.
As the northernmost city in Jing State, Ning'an City has now become the center of attention for many scholars in the world.
Since this year, more than 15,000 scholars from all over the country have given up their studies, official positions, or families, arrived in Ning'an City, and chosen to fight against the monsters together.
Just these 15,000 scholars are worth a million soldiers!
Among the scholars in Ning'an City, there were more than fifty old Jinshi and seventeen old Hanlin. Somehow, soon after the arrival of Wenquxing, twenty-one of the old Jinshi were promoted to Hanlin, and seven of the old Hanlin were promoted to Grand Secretary.
After the arrival of Wenquxing this time, only one out of ten old Jinshi was promoted to Hanlin, which was far less than the proportion in Ning'an City.
After the news spread, some old Jinshi or old Hanlin were preparing to come to Ning'an City. Even a few old university scholars had already set off.
The famous university scholar Hua Jun also arrived in Ning'an City with several wives and concubines.
The arrival of Wenquxing has raised Ning'an City's defense capabilities to another level!
After Geng Ge, the chief of the Ning'an City Transportation Department, was killed by the armless Hanlin Peng Zouzhao, the left prime minister and his party wrote to the Holy Court for a ruling. However, the Holy Court dragged its feet and did not handle the matter. Now that Peng Zouzhao was killed in battle, Geng Ge's death was in vain.
The Transportation Department quietly replaced the new director, who did not embarrass Fang Yun after taking office. He also did not contact Fang Yun, but just quietly managed the Transportation Department. Many people in Ning'an City did not even know that there was such a new Hanlin official.
During the days when Fang Yun wrote the Fifteenth Plan, the Minister of Personnel finally could not withstand the criticism from both inside and outside the court, resigned from his post, and requested to go to Zhenyuhai to guard the prison, so that his family was saved.
As the monsters were about to move south, Ning'an City became a huge war machine, especially workshops involving military equipment, which were built one after another. Not only did the textile workshop use Fang Yun's new technology, but all workshops such as weapons and armor were also improved. The processing cost was reduced to one-fifth of the original, and the quality of weapons and armor was at least 20% better.
This is because the workers have not fully understood the new things thrown out by Fang Yun.
In the previous Tianyan war poem, the power of "Sword Chant" was injected into all weapons of the human race, so that within ten years all weapons of the human race were transformed into powerful monster-killing weapons.
The main combat class among the barbarians are the barbarian soldiers and barbarian generals. Before the creation of the Tianyan war poem "Song of the Sword", ordinary soldiers of the human race, even with the power of the war poem, had a hard time fighting against ordinary barbarian soldiers, and had no idea how to deal with a barbarian general. It took at least a hundred people to compete with a barbarian general.
Now that they have weapons to kill monsters, ordinary human soldiers will be on par with ordinary barbarian soldiers. Now, if they encounter an ordinary barbarian general, they only need a dozen people to seriously injure or even kill him.
After Fang Yun sent the fifteen plans to the Holy Academy, the Holy Academy never responded.
On October 30th, the East Saint Pavilion published a piece of news about the Holy Academy on the discussion list, shocking the entire human race.
There are ten subjects in the palace examination, including education, people's livelihood, civil service, farming, criminal justice, history, military affairs, fortifications, literature, and medicine, and Fang Yun got A's in all of them!
Before the human race could react to this news, the Holy Academy announced that this year's palace examination was over and the results would be announced tomorrow.
First announcing Fang Yun as having achieved A grade and then announcing the end, this meant that Fang Yun not only achieved A grade in all ten subjects, but also achieved A grade in all ten subjects!
When this news was announced, the scholars at Daofeng Mountain who opposed Fang Yun were stunned at first, and then many of them burst into tears.
"Ten subjects with top grades? That means the three semi-saint examiners not only did not judge Fang Yun's crime, but even believed that he had no faults. How could such an executioner get full marks in front of a saint?"
"With the full armor of the Saint! The students do not accept it!"
“The students were not convinced either!”
"With the collapse of etiquette and laws, the edifice is about to collapse! The human race is in danger! The human race is in danger!"
"The etiquette and laws established by the human race over thousands of years have been destroyed by Fang Yun! Destroyed by a semi-saint!"
"This is forcing us to rebel..."
"Pa!" As soon as the scholar from the Lei family said the word "traitor", a scholar who was watching the fun rushed over and slapped him.
"If you say another word, I will kill you with my tongue!" roared the burly scholar.
"Dare to attack our Lei family?"
"We are targeting your family members, the Lei family!" Another young scholar stepped forward and glared at the scholar from the Lei family. Dozens of scholars gathered around him.
"You... are disrespectful!" the Lei family scholar shouted.
Everyone burst into laughter, looked at the Lei family with disdain, and turned away.
Less than an hour later, an article appeared on the discussion board. It was titled "The Death of Etiquette and Law." The title sounded extremely scary.
Everyone took a closer look and found that it was based on the Changxi case. They criticized Fang Yun and concluded that the etiquette of the human race collapsed because of Fang Yun.
Except for a few people who were cheering, most people were too lazy to reply. But after reading the replies from some people, they found out that it was actually written by Ji Zhibai.
So many scholars used their sharp tongues to start mocking Ji Zhibai.
"How many steps are there between etiquette and law?"
"It is known that Ji Zhibai is a stupid teammate. Let me ask, if Ji Zhibai rebels and joins the demon barbarians, how many years can the human race conquer the demon world?"
"Ji Zhibai, I heard that you found a job as a janitor? How much do you make a month?"
"I heard that Brother Ji went from having teammates as stupid as pigs to being promoted to being a stupid as pig county magistrate?"
"You little bastard Fang Yun, I cannot stand with you! Ah..."
"Okay, stop it. Don't make Ji Zhibai cry. He is the top scholar!"
"Tsk tsk, in Ning'an City, the current county magistrate is trying the former county magistrate. When Fang Xusheng returns to the capital, I'm afraid this year's top scholar will meet last year's top scholar!"
Those who attacked Fang Yun soon discovered that the situation in the discussion list had become very delicate since the Holy Academy announced the end of the palace examination. Many people who were originally neutral also began to refute them, and many of their words were very harsh, not so much a counterattack as a vent of anger.
Soon, everyone realized a big problem.
Fang Yun got all ten A's, so all the Jinshi candidates in this year's palace examination could not get A's! The highest they could get was only B+.
Except for Jing Kingdom, all the Jinshi from other human countries were wiped out in the first class!
Except for a few who could not help cursing, most of them just smiled bitterly, because they had this bad premonition before the Holy Academy announced the end.
"No. 1 Scholar" is a rather unpleasant title, and those who are about to become the top scholars in the palace examinations in other countries are in tears.
Qing country.
Yan Yukong looked up to the sky and sighed.
"I'm so unlucky to be taking the exam in the same year as Fang Yun! I'll definitely avenge you when you enter the university! No, I'll avenge you twice, including the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival last year!"
Fang Yun was reading in the study. After receiving the message from the Holy Academy, he smiled slightly and continued to read with his head down, completely ignoring the official seal that was constantly emitting silent fluctuations.
After reading the entire chapter, Fang Yun went to look at the letter in the official seal.
"The knife is ready. I and the dead rabbit will come to your house to ask for advice someday!" Li Fanming's resentment was evident on the paper.
"Fang Xusheng, when you leave the Sea of Learning and go to the Holy Academy, don't forget the bet we made in the Holy Ruins! We won!"
Fang Yun had really forgotten about this. He thought about it carefully and then remembered that when they were in the Holy Ruins, everyone made a bet on whether Fang Yun could be in the top 20 of the Great Scholar Hunting List within three years.
But now, Fang Yun is not only number one on the Great Confucian Hunting List, but he has also been given a holy title. Those who bet on Fang Yun's ability win, and those who bet on Fang's transportation will have to pool money to treat him to a dragon banquet.
The most ordinary dragon banquet starts at 100,000 taels of silver, and the best one has no upper limit.
Fang Yun immediately sent a letter to the group of people who had made a bet that day, asking all the people in Shengxu to gather at Kongsheng, and when they left the Sea of Learning and went to Shengyuan to compete for the head of the country, the loser would be treated to a dragon banquet.
Most of Shengxu’s friends were juren last year, and this year they participated in the palace examination. Those who lost were very helpless.
"I will bring two knives!" Li Fanming bet that Fang Yun would not be able to enter the top 20 of the Great Confucian Hunting List that day.
After reading some letters, Fang Yun suddenly remembered something extremely important and a faint smile appeared on his face.
This was the first time he laughed from the bottom of his heart since he came out of Sangu.
Fang Yun sent letters to the six ministries, nine ministers, four prime ministers of the cabinet, the king, the empress dowager, and the Holy Court Hall, asking them to prepare for the wedding.
The marriage of a sage is equivalent to the wedding of a monarch, and the ceremony is so grand and solemn that it is hard to imagine.
The wedding date is set after the fight for the head of the country.
If he could win the title of the national champion, plus the previous champion of the case of the student, the top scholar of the scholar, the first place of the first place of the first place of the second place of the third place, and the first place of the palace examination, which he had already won, Fang Yun would become the first scholar in the history to have six poems!
